美国与古巴就移民问题恢复谈判,此前两国谈判达中止了6年之久。美国代表团发言人说,两国代表星期二上午在纽约会面,讨论美国-古巴移民协定的实施问题。

美国国务院星期二早些时候在一份声明中说,双方将着重讨论如何推动两国间安全、合法和有序的移民。

美国国务院负责西半球事务的助理国务卿克雷格.凯利将代表美国代表团,其他成员还包括有关移民事务的政府部门代表。

美国前任总统布什在2003年中止了与古巴的移民谈判。美国政府5月提议恢复谈判,这是奥巴马总统有意改善与古巴关系的举措之一。4月,奥巴马还放松了前往古巴探亲旅游的限制。

Talks between the United States and Cuba on immigration issues have resumed after six years. A spokeswoman for the U.S. delegation to the talks says the U.S. and Cuban representatives began meeting early Tuesday in New York. The delegates are discussing the implementation of the U.S.-Cuba Migration Accords.

A statement issued earlier Tuesday says the discussion will focus on how best to promote safe, legal and orderly migration between the two countries.

Deputy Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Craig Kelly is leading the U.S. delegation, which also includes representatives from U.S. agencies involved in migration issues.

Migration talks had been suspended in 2003 by President George W. Bush. In May, the U.S. government offered to restart the negotiations as part of President Barack Obama’s effort to improve relations with Cuba. In April, Mr. Obama eased limits on family travel to Cuba.
